MICRONEEDLING (COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY)
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, or percutaneous collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive dermatological procedure that utilizes a sterile device containing fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These microchannels trigger the body's wound-healing cascade, resulting in increased neocollagenesis and elastin production—key components in youthful, resilient skin.
At Re’Nue Wellness Bar, we utilize a professional-grade microneedling pen that delivers consistent depth and precision, ensuring safe and effective results tailored to each client's skin condition and goals.
CLINICAL BENEFITS
-
Microneedling triggers a 3-phase healing process that strengthens and rejuvenates your skin:
Inflammation Phase (0–48 hrs): Micro-injuries trigger platelet release and growth factors to begin repair.
Proliferation Phase (Days 2–14): Fibroblasts create new collagen (type III), elastin, and blood vessels.
Remodeling Phase (Weeks 2–12+): Collagen type III is replaced with stronger type I, smoothing scars and tightening skin.
Key Benefits:
Up to 400% boost in collagen & elastin
Smoother texture, reduced scars, firmer skin
Enhanced skin thickness and resilience over time
Optional add-ons like PRP or exosomes at Re’Nue Wellness Bar accelerate and enhance these results.
-
Microneedling enhances your skin’s natural exfoliation cycle for a clearer, more even complexion:
Stimulates keratinocyte activity to speed up skin cell renewal
Removes damaged surface cells, reducing dullness and discoloration
Promotes even pigment distribution, helping fade sun spots and melasma
Improves skin barrier function, reducing dryness and sensitivity
Leads to brighter, smoother skin with a more refined tone and texture
This accelerated turnover, combined with collagen remodeling, delivers lasting rejuvenation from the inside out.
-
Microneedling effectively improves the appearance of indented (atrophic) acne scars by triggering deep tissue remodeling:
Stimulates fibroblast activity to fill in pitted scars with new collagen and elastin
Breaks down scar tissue adhesions, smoothing uneven texture
Increases dermal volume, lifting depressed scar areas
Most effective for rolling and boxcar scars; may improve some icepick scars over time
Visible improvement after 3–6 sessions, especially when combined with PRP or growth factors
This is one of the most clinically validated uses of microneedling, with minimal downtime and high patient satisfaction.
-
Microneedling helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by improving skin structure and function:
Stimulates collagen around pores, making them appear tighter and less visible
Thickens the epidermis, which naturally reduces pore depth
Regulates sebum production, especially in oily or acne-prone skin
Enhances overall skin smoothness and tone
Best results seen after a series of treatments, with continued improvement over time
The result: a refined, airbrushed look—without filters.
FAQs
